As the Daily Telegraph wrote, Calabria is the new discovery of the beauty of southern Italy. The region has ancient charm and unspoilt natural beauty, such as Europe’s second largest canyon in the Presila. It also boasts a variety of towns and villages to discover, each with its own unique attractions.
Calabria’s cultural and artistic heritage is equally important, reflecting the region’s thousand-year history. The cities of Cosenza, Reggio Calabria and Catanzaro are places worth visiting, along with ancient villages such as Gerace, Stilo and Pentedattilo.
Calabrian cuisine is a real treat for visitors, with typical dishes such as the famous ‘nduja, a spicy sausage made from pork, and fileja, a handmade pasta made from durum wheat flour and water, and ‘mparrettati. Its oil is also among the finest in Italy. But local fishing is also of great importance to the region, with delicious specialities such as tuna botargo and swordfish alla ghiotta.
